Dear Friends,  

The 2011 Basset Waddle is coming up in a few short weeks.  It's that time of year where we Nina and Nathan and I walk with the Bassets to raise money to save more dog's lives.   Pictured here is Martha.  She is one of seven dogs that GABR rescued on July 4th from a hoarder. Martha was living outdoors in unsanitary conditions, with no clean water and no love.  She now has full vet care and is in a foster home waiting for a forever home.

Guardian Angel rescues, provides complete veterinary care, fosters and hand selects a home for over 300 dogs each year. GABR is more than a dog rescue as we have helped over 50 non-profits learn how to fundraise, run auctions and profit through partnership in our annual Corvette Raffle.

The Illinois Waddle is a weekend long celebration of the breed attended annually by over 1,000 bassets and their families. It is Guardian Angel’s primary source of funding.  We support Guardian Angel through the Basset Waddle as GABR is comprised of hardworking, exceptional and committed volunteers who are dedicated to helping Bassets and so many other non profits in need. It’s the kind of group I want to support –

I count on the support of fellow dog lovers, our families, friends and business associates to provide healthy, happy lives for every dog that we rescue.
